Truck Accident Claim Timeline

Answer:

The question comes up often, “I was hit by a big semi-trailer and have been seriously injured. How long is it going to take for me to resolve my claim? I’m out of work. I’ve got these medical bills piling up. How long is it going to take?” That’s a common question. That was actually asked by a potential client a couple weeks ago. One of our attorneys talked to the client and told them this – and this is general information for you, but call and talk to one of our lawyers and we’ll give you specific information that’s specific to your case. What the attorney said is that truck accidents are not the same as a little fender bender that happened next block over.

Typically, the damage to your vehicle is much more, and the insurance companies and the trucking companies treat these cases very differently. Instead of maybe $15,000 or $25,000 of insurance coverage, they’re going to have $750,000 in insurance coverage, a million dollars, two million, ten million, twenty million dollars in insurance coverage, so they make sure that they’re protecting their own interests – which, by the way, doesn’t include you. Because of that, you need an experienced truck accident law firm on your side because it turns into a battle; it’s like a war. Sometimes in wars, some people win and some people lose, so you want to make sure that you have experienced truck accident attorneys on your side. You do not want to go against a trucking company or their insurance company on your own because you’ll normally lose.

Call us early to at least get that information that’s available, and then we can give you – once we know more about the trucking company involved and your injuries – a much better idea about how long it will take to resolve your claim. Call us, and don’t walk like a lamb to the slaughter. The call is free, the information is free, and it can make tens of thousands or even millions of dollars difference to you. Call us. We are to help you.
